I love my boobs, one of the best decisions I'be made:) Glad I listened to my PS on sizing, they really know best! I do have a bit of animation deformity, but it is definitely getting better over time. I can't wait to see what they'll look like on my anniversary!

Day 15 - surgical drainage of hematoma
Gentle4280August 15, 2019
So many updates...
Day 4 - flew on a 7 hour flight across the country for a conference. Overall it went well, I've had people help me with my checked luggage, and I was able to lift my practically empty backpack into the overhead bins in the plane.
Day 7 - bruising going down, still have lots of swelling in right breast
Day 8 - hit my right breast with the car door...yes this is the swollen breast...not having very good luck :/
Day 10 - flew back home. By now sensation to my nipples have returned. In fact, both of my breasts are insanely sensitive. Not just the nipples, but the entire breast...as if I can feel each strand of my hair that fell on my breasts. Sensitivity makes everything uncomfortable, almost painful...I took a couple of pain meds to get some relief from it.
Day 14 - Finally saw my PS since the surgery. I wasn't able to go in for my 1 week visit since I was on my trip. My appointment was in the morning, and I was scheduled for surgery that afternoon! My PS wanted to drain the hematoma from my right breast. Went in for surgery at 2:30 pm and woke up in recovery at 4 pm, with a drainage bulb attached to me. He reopened only a portion of the stitch to drain out the fluids....but I woke up with sharp pains to my nipple. I'd say the pain was worse than when I woke up with implants. It was a sharp pain, probably since my boobs were already uber sensitive.
Day 15 - went back to the office to get the drainage bulb removed. I only emptied it once that previous night, a total of 30 mL. My PS said he removed about 50 mL during surgery. I am really happy having no excess fluids in my breast, they look much more even now. In fact, it now looks smaller than my left breast, but I think it just needs to catch up since my left breast is already starting to drop.
I've been really tired today, took today off work to just relax and recover. My next appt with the PS is next week Friday :) I can elaborate more if you have questions, just wanted to give a brief update since so many things has happened...gong to get some rest now before I return to work tomorrow.

So I'm curious. Did your doctor insert the implants through the nipple area? Thank you for saying that the sensitivity is coming back on day 10! I've had surgeries .. 4 across my abdomen to birth my 3 kids and then a tummy tuck and those scars stayed numb for years. I always thought that nipples would stay numb too. Glad to hear that yours didn't! I may consider that option for myself

How do they look now? May I do your chest size prior to implants? And are you trying to achieve a c/d cup? Hoping you have a speedy recovery!
Thanks!

I got my bandages off yesterday....oh my are the girls bruised and bloodied! My right side is clearly more swollen than my left. The PS said this is normal, as long as it doesn't get larger over the next couple of days. It has been about 24 hours since I last saw him and thankfully it seems to be the same size, if not smaller. I am loving my left side, it is so perfect! Currently, nipples are numb..I may have noticed a tiny bit of sensation returning, but still too early to tell.
I would like to say I have been extremely lucky with this recovery.... I listened to all of the preop do's and don'ts, as well as eating lots of fruits, veggies and protein a month prior to surgery and exercising. I read a review that appreciated her core workouts during recovery....I fully understand this now. Getting up without using your arms means using your core and legs...sometimes an elbow, though ;)
Currently I am on over the counter acetaminophen. I feel this is much better.. I can still feel the tightness in my chest, but no pains from the surgery. Feeling the tightness is a good gauge for how I am exerting my body. The prescribed painkillers were just too overkill for me, and I felt like I was over exerting my body because I felt nothing at all.
I got a bit restless today, so I decided to go on a 20 minute walk to the bus stop and get a haircut. It felt so good to go outside and walk for a bit...I felt like I was getting too bloated just lying around the house.
Overall recovery is going great, I loooooove the size of my breasts, I'm happy with 325 cc in my frame, it is exactly what I imagined it to be like. Can't wait to see how they'll change everyday :)
